Explore the Interaction of Biology and Behavior

Develop a keen insight into both psychology and neuroscience to explore the neural
basis of human behavior through the Behavioral Neuroscience Concentration at University
of Houston-Clear Lake. This area of study is also known as biological psychology,
biopsychology or psychobiology. Students in our concentration have numerous opportunities
to conduct research, give professional presentations and publish in journals. Our
faculty specializes in nicotine dependence, age-related memory impairment and the
impact of sleep disorders on information processing.

Build a Foundation for the Next Step

Graduates with this concentration are well suited to further study in doctoral programs
or careers in biomedical research. One of the most important prerequisites needed
for both research careers or doctoral admission is research experience. Therefore,
this concentration places a strong emphasis on research participation. Students will
be expected to be active members of research teams on campus that results in research
presentations at professional conferences and culminates in a capstone research experience.Request InformationHow to ApplyVisit
